Date, of all of the following conditions, any of which may be
waived in whole or in part by Lender, and all of which shall be
deemed satisfied by Lender’s execution of this
Agreement:
(a) Except for the notices
required or permitted to be filed after the Closing Date with
certain federal and state securities commissions, the Company shall
have obtained all governmental approvals (including without
limitation all necessary state securities laws permits and
qualifications) required in connection with the lawful sale and
issuance of the Note.
(b) At the Closing, the
sale and issuance by the Company, and the purchase by the Lender,
of the Convertible Note shall be legally permitted by all laws and
regulations to which the Lender or the Company is
subject.
(c) All corporate and
other proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated
at the Closing and all documents and instruments incident to such
transaction shall be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form
to the Lender.
(d) Prior to the Closing,
the Company shall deliver to Lender copies of (i) the total amount
of authorized, issued and outstanding shares in Gabriel and all
related entities; (ii) the total amount of options that have been
issued by Gabriel and all related entities, including the terms of
such options; (iii) the total amount of warrants that have been
issued by Gabriel and all related entities, including the terms of
such warrants; (iv) the total amount of Gabriel stock, options and
warrants owned by Elliott Broidy both before and after the
Investment, and (v) a copy of Company’s credit agreement with
the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility with the Nebraska
State Bank, entered into as of August 12, 2005 and (vi) the signed
side letter referred to in Exhibit I , attached
hereto.
3.2 Conditions to
Obligations of the Company . The Company’s obligation to
issue and sell the Convertible Note at the Closing is subject to
the fulfillment, to the Company’s satisfaction on or prior to
the Closing Date, of the following conditions, any of which may be
waived in whole or in part by the Company, and all of which shall
be deemed satisfied by Company’s execution of this
Agreement:
(a) Except for the notices
required or permitted to be filed after the Closing Date with
certain federal and state securities commissions, the Company shall
have obtained all governmental approvals (including without
limitation all necessary state securities laws permits and
qualifications) required in connection with the lawful sale and
issuance of the Convertible Note.
3
(b) At the Closing, the
sale and issuance by the Company, and the purchase by Lender, of
the Convertible Note shall be legally permitted by all laws and
regulations to which the Lender or the Company is
subject.
3.3 Representations
and Warranties by the Lender . Lender hereby represents and
warrants to the Company as set forth in Exhibit D
.
3.4 Representations
and Warranties by the Company . The Company hereby represents
and warrants to the Lender as set forth in Exhibit E
.
3.5 Conversion
Right . The Company and Lender agree that at any time so long
as the Convertible Note is outstanding, Lender has the right to
convert the Convertible Note (the "Conversion Right") into up to
$1,000,000 worth of common stock of the Company at a per share
price of $1.00 (the "Strike Price"). As set forth in the
Convertible Note, the Company agrees that it may prepay principal
amounts owed to Lender under this Convertible Note provided that
the Company provides fifteen (15) days written notice and
confirmation of the receipt of such notice by Lender. Lender shall
be able to exercise his Conversion Right under the Convertible Note
during the period that the Company has provided notice of its
desire to prepay principal but before such prepayment has taken
place.
3.6 Antidilution .
The Company and Lender agree that so long as any amounts are owed
to the Lender by the Company under this Convertible Note, should
the Company issue securities, options, warrants or derivatives of
any kind with a sale, exercise or strike price less than One Dollar
and Fifty Cents ($1.50) per share, then the Strike Price of the
Conversion Right will be reduced by the percentage of the
difference between $1.50 and the price of the issued security,
option warrant or derivative. Thus, by way of example, if while the
Convertible Note is still outstanding the Company were to issue
securities, warrants, options or derivatives with an exercise price
of $.75 — i.e. a total of 50%
(75/150) below $1.50— then the $1.00 Strike Price referred to
in Section 3.5 shall likewise be reduced by 50% -
i.e. to $.50 ($l.00*50%) per share —
and Lender would therefore have the option of converting the
Convertible Note into a total of 2,000,000 shares.
In the event that the Company shall at any time
hereafter (a) pay a dividend in Common Stock or securities
convertible into Common Stock; (b) subdivide or split its
outstanding Common Stock; (c) combine its outstanding Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares; then the number of shares to be
issued immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be
adjusted so that Lender thereafter may still receive the same
number of warrants he would have owned immediately following such
action if he had exercised the Conversion Right immediately prior
to such action and the Strike Price of this Convertible Note set
forth in Section 3.5 above
shall be adjusted to reflect such proportionate increases or
decreases in the number of shares.
3.7 Change in Control
Event . The Company shall give Lender at least fifteen (15)
days’ prior written notice of the date of the consummation of
any (i) reorganization, recapitalization, sale, conveyance or other
disposition of all or a majority of the property or business of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (ii) merger into or
consolidation of the Company or a material subsidiary of the
Company with any other corporation (other than a wholly owned
subsidiary corporation) or other transaction or series of related
transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the
Company is disposed of, or (iii) liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company (each, a "Change in Control Event"). If
Lender provides to the Company, within five days of the receipt of
such notice, written notice objecting to the consummation of such
Change in Control Event (the "Objection Notice"), then the Company
shall not consummate such Change in Control Event unless (a) the
surviving entity of such Change in Control Event (1) expressly
assumes all of the obligations specified in this Agreement and the
Note and (2) has a net worth not less than the consolidated net
worth of the Company at the time of such Change in Control Event;
or (b) the Company indefeasibly repays all of the outstanding
principal amount of and interest on the Convertible Note within
five business days after the closing date of such Change in Control
Event.
4
3.8 Inspection
Rights . Company shall permit any authorized representatives
designated by Lender to visit and inspect any of the properties of
Company, to inspect, copy and take extracts from its financial and
accounting records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and
accounts with its officers and independent public accountants
(provided that Company may, if it so chooses, be present at or
participate in any such discussion), all upon reasonable notice and
at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often
as may reasonably be requested. Lender shall not use any
information obtained under this Agreement for any purpose that is
not reasonably related to performance of the respective rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder, such rights and obligations
including but not limited to repayment of the Convertible
Note.
3.9 Restriction on
Fundamental Changes . The Company shall not take any action
that may reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the
Company’s ability to repay the Convertible Note and any
accrued interest thereon when and as due without the prior written
permission of Lender.
3.10
Restriction on Additional Debt . Other than the
Company’s Revolving Credit Facility with the Nebraska State
Bank, entered into as of August 12, 2005, so long as the
Convertible Note is outstanding Lender shall have priority in
payment of principal and interest as against any other promissory
notes or indebtedness of the Company. The Company shall provide
Lender with fifteen days prior notice before incurring any
subordinated debt. Any such subordinated debt must be preapproved
by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
3.11
No Public Statement . Lender and the Company shall not issue
any public statement concerning the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement without written consent of the parties named in such
public statement.
4.1 General Security
Interest . To guaranty and as security for repayment of the
full principal amount of the Convertible Note plus interest, Lender
shall receive a priority security interest in all of the assets and
intellectual property of(i) the Company and (ii) Resilent LLC dba
Digital Defense (the "Security Interest"). Company and Lender shall
work together to promptly perfect Lender’s Security Interest
in such assets and intellectual property.
5
4.2 Pledge of
Securities . In addition to the Security Interest set forth in
Paragraph 4.1 above, as additional security for repayment of the
full principal amount of the Note plus interest the Company shall
pledge to Lender (i) all of the securities in the possession,
custody or control of Company after its transaction with Resilent
LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company, scheduled to take place
on or about January 11, 2006 and Company will also forward to
Lender immediately upon receipt the Unit Certificate from Resilent
LLC representing 11,818 Units;. and (ii) 3,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common treasury stock (together, the "Pledged

to transfer to Lender stock certificates sufficient to transfer the
full amount of the Pledged Securities to Lender, together with
documentation sufficient to transfer all associated stock powers to
Lender in the event that the Company defaults under this
Convertible Note.
After Closing, title to and ownership of the
Pledged Securities shall remain with the Company unless and until
the Convertible Note is paid off in full. In the event that the
Convertible Note is not paid off in full upon the Maturity Date,
however, title to and ownership of the Pledged Securities shall
automatically transfer to Lender and the Company shall document and
effectuate such transfer, including the transfer of all associated
stock powers, of the registered securities within five
(5) business days of the Maturity Date.
Transfer of the Pledged Securities to Lender shall not impinge or
limit in any way Lender’s additional rights under the
Convertible Note. Lender’s security interest in the Pledged
Securities shall immediately cease upon (i) the Company’s
repayment of all amounts, including interest, due and outstanding
under the Convertible Note or (ii) Lender’s exercise of the
Conversion Right.

CONVERTIBLE SENIOR PROMISSORY
NOTE
|
$1,000,000
|
Los Angeles, California
January 6, 2006
|
1. Principal and
Interest . Subject to the terms and conditions contained
herein, Gabriel Technologies Corp., (the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the
order of Broidy Capital Management or holder ("Lender") in lawful
money of the United States at 1801 Century Park East, Suite 2150,
Los Angeles, California 90067, the principal amount of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000), together with simple interest at a rate equal
to nine percent (9.0%) per annum, which interest shall be paid to
Lender for the first three months to be paid April 1, 2006.
Subsequent to such quarterly payment, interest shall be paid by
Company monthly.
In exchange for this Convertible Senior
Promissory Note, Lender has loaned to the Company a total of One
Million Dollars $1,000,000, comprised of:
|
|
(a)
|
A Two Hundred Thousand Dollar ($200,000) loan
made by Lender on or about December 9, 2005;
|
|
|
(b)
|
Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000)
in non-accountable expenses to be
incurred by Lender in connection with this transaction, including
but no limited to documentation costs; and
|
|
|
(c)
|
Seven Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars
($775,000) to be wired to Gabriel in immediately available funds
upon finalization and signature of this agreement and any ancillary
documents thereto.
|
12
The principal of this Convertible Note is due and
payable on January 6, 2007 (the "Maturity Date"), unless this
Convertible Note is earlier converted or prepaid in accordance
herewith. All interest on this Convertible Note is due and payable
on the Maturity Date.
2. Subordination and
Seniority . Other than the Company’s Revolving Credit
Facility with the Nebraska State Bank, entered into as of August
12, 2005, so long as the Convertible Note is outstanding
Lender’s rights under the Convertible Note shall be senior to
and shall have priority in payment of principal and interest as
against any other promissory notes or indebtedness of the
Company.
3. Conversion or
Repayment . The Company and Lender agree that at any time so
long as the Convertible Note is outstanding, subject to the
Prepayment provision of Section 6 below, Lender has the right to
convert the Convertible Note (the "Conversion Right") into up to
$1,000,000 worth of common stock of the Company at a per share
price of $1.00 (the "Strike Price"). Lender may exercise the
Conversion Right by informing the Company either in writing or
electronically that it intends to do so.
4. Antidilution .
The Company and Lender agree that so long as any amounts are owed
to the Lender by the Company under this Convertible Note, should
the Company issue securities, options, warrants or derivatives of
any kind with an exercise or strike price less than One Dollar and
Fifty Cents ($1.50) per share, then the Strike Price of the
Conversion Right will be reduced by the percentage of the
difference between $1.50 and
the price of the issued security, option warrant or derivative.
Thus, by way of example, if while the Convertible Note is still
outstanding the Company were to issue securities, warrants, options
